So maybe you don't like the fact...
...that I have been able to achieve
a good part of a 29 year old GOAL?
When I visited Italy, for the first time, I was intent on shooting research shots...because I was then a Scenic Designer/ Scenic Artist...very intent upon replicating anywhere in Italy, when necessary.
These are my shots, which I never had the money to make the coffee table book I so wanted to do.
I am more than pleased to be 'still alive at 65' and share this 1982 tour through Genova, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, with all of you.
All 35mm slides have been digitally scanned, color-corrected, cropped and Photoshopped (TM) to enhance your viewing pleasure.
I hope some of you enjoy?

Seems more to me as if he's dancing with a bunch of 'Wannabes'...and he THINKS he's the Dance Captain!
(Which, of course, he never could be, cuz he gots no RHYTHM! Never had and never will!)
I use the KISS principle in my daily life...and I call Barry Dunham X Little Soetoro a FAIL, a spectacular FAIL!

Just watch, then think a bit...
...and remember all of those who fought, and are STILL fighting for our independence, our freedom.
From http://www.youtube.com/user/ziocody comes this beautiful piece:
"Independence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as "the Fourth of July". It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. Patriotic displays and family events are organized throughout the United States. Many people display the American flag on their homes. The celebrations have deep roots in the American tradition of political freedom.
You probably recognize this popular song that has played in countless films and TV productions. Adagio for Strings, composed by Samuel Barber, has also been arranged for choral performances. More recently I found the robust brass arrangement and it has haunted me to do something more with it. My journey in life took me to the Capitol and I would like to think what you see and hear are a perfect fit.
Honor Air is an effort to charter flights to the National Mall bringing war veterans to see the memorials. Even though he served during WWII, my Grandfather who is 94 chose not to go because he didn't want to take the seat of a veteran who saw combat. Part of the reason I produced this piece was to bring the monuments to him.
Your comments are appreciated.
The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
PRESIDENT LINCOLN, hearing that a mother had given five sons to the Union army, and that all of them had been killed on the battlefield, wrote her the following letter of sympathy :
"EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Nov. 2I, 1864. " To MRS. BIXBY, BOSTON, MASS.
" Dear Madam—I have been shown, in the files of the War Department, a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which shall attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, A. LINCOLN."
Thank you so much, ziocody!
